There’s no reason to be cute about it; This week’s DVD and Blu-ray releases is all about the arrival of Pacific Rim, which is crushing its competition like a giant robot punching a giant monster in the face. But there’s also scifi TV, evil cavemen and gratuitous nudity as well!

No need for me to explain what this is. Happily, the two-disc DVD set has almost all the extras the Blu-ray does — commentary by del Toro, a look at the art and design, deleted scenes and the blooper reel — except one featurette called “The Director’s Notebook.” Always nice when DVD owners don’t get totally screwed.

This PBS documentary chronicles the rise of comic book superheroes, from kids’ entertainment for a nickel to a multi-kajillion-dollar industry. PBS is actually airing it tomorrow night at 8pm, so feel free to watch before you buy.

On one hand, this sequel knows it’s bad and thus loses at lot of its charm. On the other hand, cavemen, zombies and jellyfish join in the birds’ war against humanity. I tend to err on the side of cavemen.
